I'm probably gonna get a lot of shit for this, but it's what I did and it worked so well that people literally told me I looked like I could be a fitness model afterwards... took about 2 months, and I was close to your size... but here's the embarrassing part: I only ate about 500-600 calories a day and I did a lot of heavy weights for my legs/calves and did a lot of squats. I got in shape SO fast because of the lack of calories... People claim that you can't build muscle on such a low calorie diet, but I sure the hell did and people noticed without me saying anything. I didn't tell a soul how I did it because they would've all shitted on me (I have a lot of friends who are into bodybuilding/fitness. So if you're short in time, and have excellent will power, trust me. Do that.

I'll try not be offended by that "your size" part. :/ But thanks for the tip, I'll try that and see what happens. A 'diet' of salad, fruit (mainly apples) and some lean protein such as chicken should significantly lower my calorie intake. Combined with squats, cardio and resistance training, that should get me to where I'd like to be.

No, you shouldn't be offended. C'mon you wanted honesty otherwise you wouldn't have asked. No room for feelings when you ask the public to critique your body lol... And YOU'RE the one saying you're unhappy with your body and want to lose weight so it makes no sense to get mad if people agree. Which I do.Anyways, I used to be your size. So if I'm insulting you, I'm insulting myself. I definitely think with the diet you just stated, along with exercise will have you looking amazing. Just don't give in to carbs and sugar. Good luck!

It's not that I'm unhappy, per se... I just know that I could look much better and that I'll FEEL so much better once I reach my goal.

Agreed - carbs and sugar are not my friends, even in moderation. Which is fine; I don't think I'll miss them. It's just a matter of having the right foods around my house so that, no matter what I reach for, it'll be healthy.

Same here. I actually had to toss everything out of my fridge/cabinets because I love food and if its there, I WILL eat it. And I agree with you, you don't look "bad", but why settle for OK when you can have greatness. Life is too short to not feel and look your best. My life literally changed 100% when I reached my goal.

Exactly. It'll take some willpower and discipline, but the payoff will be worth it, just like it was for you. Can you compare your weight loss story to a celebrity's so that I can get an idea of what your transformation was like? For example, were you heavy like Jennifer Hudson before and then became athletic and fit like she is now, or were you kinda chubby like Hilary Duff circa 2012/2013 and then slimmed down to where she is now, or?

Well I'm short (5'2) so a little weight goes a long way for me. I started at about 130 and ended at a bout 108 right now. The reason why my legs are still pretty big though is due to heavy lifting. My quads are big now. I've lost a lot of weight before (a looooong time ago) but back then I never touched weights and my legs got really scrawny along with the rest of my body. I looked 12, it was gross. But I've been training legs for over 2 years now - a lot longer than I did that diet that I told you about. It worked wonders for me. The only thing she has that I don't have is more boobs than me :(

@BlueEyedHipsta Ummm, wow. Do you even know what Anorexia is? I did a crash diet for a couple months because I was in a hurry. Big difference. Please don't try to be a voice for an illness that you're clueless about.

Lol ok. Knowing 'one person' who developed anorexia, is completely different than your original statement which was: that a temporary low calorie diet of 600 calories is a "type of anorexia". I am, and was, far from anorexic. The asker wanted to know how to lose weight in a short period of time, so I shared my opinion because that's what helped me lose weight in a short amount of time. But in my normal every day life, I take in 2000 cals/day. What happened to your friend is unfortunate and hopefully she sought out medical attention.

What Guys Said 60

Well you have great butt :). If you want to be beach ready i would suggest adjusting your diet and focus on abdominal and leg training. You have a great shape, with a little work you will make yourself that much more beautiful. Good luck!

You look fine. Going to the beach ready or not is fun, and you should worry less about that, and more about enjoying it. If you want to stay in shape or get in better shape, then having a normal workout routine like running, biking, swimming, or hiking involved is a good start. Focus on doing things that make you happy and the rest will work itself out.

You look like a 9. Love the butt and boobs. Nice curves. The grey sweater is not the best. Makes your butt/hips look bigger than they are. Love the figure though. I'd love some quality time with it all.

I didn't say not good for sex! not good means under 5. But you got 7,5. It's just that i prefer girls with slightly more curves. And it's just me cus we guys have different opinions when it comes to sex

hmmmmmmm i changed my mind after i saw the last pic. Your ass is bigger than i thought and it looks almost perfect so now you got a solid 8,5 for sex. You will get bigger boobs as you get older i think. And bigger boobs are definitely better. Oh yeah and one more thing, you are annoying yourself with this so stop worrying cus you have a very sexy body and try working on something else.

In terms of aesthetics, since 60% of Americans are overweight, mathematically I'd say you're a 7/10--an average slim person, not fit. 8 would be fit, 9 would be (like me) above average fit and 10 would be the perfect amount of fitness for aesthetics (e. g. zyzz the god of aesthetics and zuzka light).

You're average fit at best. I wouldn't put you at above average. A little too skinny for my taste actually-- a 7 maybe but definitely not a 9.

As for the girl with the question, I think you look great! If you want to tighten up a bit before a vacation I'd say go low carb and do an hour of full body cardio 5-6 times a week. I like Zumba or cardio-kickboxing :)

@CheesyUnicorn That picture of me is far outdated... I've been on this site for a couple years now. I'm most certainly above average fit (again we're talking aesthetic fit is 10, overweight is 6, 3-4 is obese, and minorities like bodybuilding fit and the 2% underweight are too insignificant and controversial that I didn't mention/include in the scale). My scale actually has a statistical basis, not just whimsical whatever you want to call someone. So no sorry, 7 isn't even remotely close since that would simply be a slim person (since 60% of people are overweight that defines 1-6, 7 is simply not overweight). And considering I'm 150lbs in that picture at 5'7" lean.. I wasn't at all skinny. A skinny 5'7" is 130lbs and I've been there when I was in cross country. At 140lbs 5'7 becomes either chubby or muscular. With that said, I wasn't asking to be scaled. I was giving references/examples to assist in my answer to the question.

If you want to contribute to my answer, you can reference my scale to offer a different number for the QA and explain your reasons... but you can't redefine my metrics for scaling.. if you could, it defeats the whole purpose of creating guidelines for the scale. In the end, you'd just be giving a random number (which you did) without any rational placement to associate it with, making it meaningless to the QA (or me I guess since you redirected it to me for some reason). But to address you more directly, I'll reference this quote--- and say-- "Too skinny for my tastes"-- who cares? I wasn't asking. Not only is that opinion unwarranted, but it's also delusional to call someone @ 150lbs and 5'7 skinny.

@cheesyunicorn Your way of flirting is not attractive.. I said I'm not interested in hooking up with people online.. please just stop. Winky faces don't just turn anything you say into playful banter. I stopped responding to messages for a reason.. I didn't do it hoping it would continue into my answer threads. So please, you already made the mistake of bleeding all over your last boyfriend, let's not do it on me too.

Well, if you aren't comfortable with how you look and don't consider yourself,'Beach ready' That's okay, but if it's that's what a friend or someone told you, you shouldn't worry about it. But if you want a good work out, I do one every night, it's more for physical ability, but I find it keeps me in okay shape.Start with 50 squats, don't let your knee's go over your toes, and don't be afraid to get that bum as close tot he floor as possible.Then do 50 normal push ups (correctly, doing them incorrectly will only make your muscles sore, it won't help you look better) 50 push up with her hands under you, making a triangle (these help your upper arms, a place hard to work) Then, if you're concerned for your lower abs, lay on your back, but don't let your shoulder blades touch the ground, with your legs straight out and together, start as close as you can get your heels to the floor with out touching it, then lift you legs as high as you can with out those shoulder blades making contact with the floor, (these are leg lifts, but they are often done wrong) do 50 of those.Do 50 regular sit ups, don't use something to hold your feet down, get your muscles strong enough to hold themselves down. (you can always start with crunches and work up to sit ups if you feel more comfortable with that)Get on your side, and lift both the lower and upper parts of your body at the same time with out falling to the side, both sides, 50 again.Increase the number of each of these things by 50 every night. Or day, what ever you're comfortable with.And if you're not going to run, and have a healthy diet, this is all for nothing. If you want to look healthy, you have to be healthy as well. A healthy life style will make you feel good about yourself, and feel good all the time. Hope I helped! Good luck!

No offence honey, but a better way to show us your body would maybe be in a tight fitted top and jeans if you're uncomfortable with showing your stomach. There isn't much I can see besides your boobs and ass. Even your legs aren't visible. All I'd say is, eat clean and do a lot of cardio. I think your legs are slightly bulky, that's all I can figure out.

That does is not your body as a whole, they are body parts. So what are you askiing? How to get your breast and butt in shape? Your body would include your stomach, your arms, you legs & so forth. That's like a guy asking for a body suggestion for fitness and taking a photo with an obvious sock bulge in his pants lol

Yes, there's a reason for that, which I've already stated several times. I'm not comfortable showing my stomach because I don't like how it looks. I instead chose to include two pictures that show my stomach from the side.

sounds to me like you're craving attention more than anything. You're scared to show off your stomach but you are willing to take half naked pictures of your ass and boob shots what kinda logic is that?

Try the T-25 HIIT workout set or maybe the TapOut XT one. I did both of those and lost about 10lbs. I'm still ridiculously huge though...:/ Try cutting down on cals as well maybe? there are some weight loss calculators that plan out net calories for you

Well I would say cardio, specifically jogging or swimming. If you do high intensity training it will really tone you up. But for that I would highly recommend talking to a gym trainer or someone who can help you set up a routine that will work for you. Planks, push ups and yoga done correctly really work the core. Yoga though is definitely helps toning all over.
